that google totally killed the nest app?

why can’t the home app give us a better

timeline view?

where are the integration of the Nest devices into the Home app?

Hey Google are you getting our drift the questions asked are all about why you have no regard for the Nest products that Google acquired

[Ksh]

Nest thermostat 4 years no issue, last couple months, it keeps changing temperature setting! What did Google screw up now?  Nest was a pretty good product before the idiots at Google took over. 

Feeling Disappointed.

The basic functions are on "Hey Google volume Up Hey Google turn off TV those basic commands are OK.

If possible can you give me guidance in regard to the Tivo and Google Nest Speaker Set UP

I'm wanting to know if Nest is going to improve their AI with the Nest Cams, especially the outdoor cams. It seems like every little bug sets off my cameras at night and my dog is identified as (Person) in my alerts.

Help!

I've had a nest home one for a couple of years now and not had any major problems. We decided today to move the nest from the kitchen to the lounge and it's gone kaboom!!! It will no longer connect to the WiFi. I first removed it from the Home and tried to re add it but it couldn't get past the internet stage. I then did a complete factory reset, installed Goodle Home to a different phone and new account and tried again, still can't get past the internet. Any suggestions?!?!?!?!

Try this.. from your cell phone app remove the nest then remove the Google app from your phone. Then reinstall the Google nest app. Next you’ll need to remove nest from your thermostat by going to settings and clicking on reset or reinstall. Then you’ll need to add new product from both Nest app and your thermostat including access to your WiFi. Be sure your WiFi router are WWN compliant. You also will need to scan the bar code to enable you to obtain security code. If all goes well you should see thermostat on your phone nest app . If not try calling a HVAC technician or Nerd Squad.

hello @Roys  how are you my friend?

[BrandonLaMontCo]

@S3bryan  so tell us! what is the most popular product here in the community.

Aile 

[BrandonLaMontCo]

@ceren what does 'Aile' mean, we don't understand what is trying to be said

[BrandonLaMontCo]

@topbusiness what do you mean? does it change by itself or what?

[BrandonLaMontCo]

@comulato yes I agree, but there isn't a lot of communication for some reason. I personally feel that we all should be connected for some reason, but hey! maybe we are, or maybe I haven't discovered the right resources.
